First Visitor

Henry met his Grandma Panning today for the first time! He was wide awake and happy when she arrived, which is great. He was doing so well that we all were able to go out to eat for lunch! Henry seems to like his carseat a lot and fell fast asleep as soon as we got in the car. It was nice to get out of the apartment for a little while. It was certainly the first time that I've left since we got home from the hospital on Wednesday night (except for a couple quick trips to the pediatrician, that is). In fact, we went to Panera Bread, which is the same place that I went to lunch just last Saturday with my friend Sarah. Only then, little mister Henry was snugly tucked away in my belly. It was funny to think about.

We are starting to settle into a routine here, of sorts. Henry eats and sleeps and poops and pees. On occasion he wakes up and we can play with him a little bit, but those moments are pretty rare. Rare, but very special. He's such a cutie. During the day, he seems to do well with the eating/sleeping routine. Enough so that we are normally able to do whatever we need to do during the day. Nights are a different story. For some reason, the little guy likes to nurse on and off all night long, with occasional naps that are just long enough to tease Mommy into thinking that she might get to sleep. But before she can, he wakes up again. So I'm pretty tired, but Daddy is doing pretty well.

Speaking of Daddy, Matt is really enjoying having Henry around. I love to watch them together. He does diaper changes and dresses him and carries him around. And he sure is proud of his little blondie. (Right now he's laying on the floor next to sleeping Henry and just watching him... so cute)

Check back again soon and I'll post a few pictures that we've taken with Henry at home and with his grandma this weekend.
